I'm not great in the art of lofting the front wheel high in the air for hours on end.
But what I have found works for me is about 20mph in 1st give it a hand full and it'll snap right up.
Keep the rear brake covered and once you get enough practice in you should be able to get into higher gears.

OK People
I decided to tidy up the swingarm and remove the 2 lugs for the chain guard but failed to get into my head the swingarm finish.
On filing down the first one I've got a lovely polished ally look but the coating on the rest of the arm looks fooked and I dont really want a polished arm.
So my question is really a show us your swingarms for inspiration.

I done the exact same thing this morning.
Fortunatly the only injury was a bit of road rash to my knuckle.
Got away light with the bike too - bent the clutch leaver and ripped the grip.
Broke rear turn signal and a couple of light scrapes on the plastics which should buff out.
Good to see I'm not the only one. and glad youre ok

OK so one of my rear pads has failed and I need to replace them.
Easy job I thought.
The 6mm Hex bolt is stuck so tight I've turned 1 allen key into a spiral :foul:and broken a 6mm extension for my ratchet.
Can't even begin to think how tight the flat blade screw for the pads is gonna be.
Can anyone help?
Any little tips or tricks to get these litte feckers out?

With that light you may as well try and ride holding a candle.
I had something similar to that now I've got http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Polisport-MMX-Headlight-Road-Legal-Supermoto-Enduro_W0QQitemZ320326593778QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Motorcycle_Parts?hash=item4a94f3ecf2
